Bulbasaur — 166/165 — Illustration Rare — Scarlet & Violet: 151 (MEW)

Bulbasaur at card number 166/165 is a secret-numbered Illustration Rare — printed beyond the set's standard 165-card boundary, signaling its chase status to any serious collector. Illustrated by Yoriyuki Ikegami, the full-art holo design shows Bulbasaur peacefully napping amid vibrant forest foliage , making it one of the most visually striking starter cards in the modern era.

Scarlet & Violet 151 is unique in that it pays homage to the original 151 Pokémon, and is arranged in Pokédex order — taking fans on a journey from the iconic Bulbasaur at slot #001 all the way to the elusive Mew ex at #151. The set commands premium pricing because it taps into a uniquely deep well of nostalgia — this is the first time all 151 original Pokémon have appeared together in a single TCG set since the early WOTC days. Combined with strategic reprint management by The Pokémon Company and genuinely strong pull rates, 151 has avoided the typical post-release price crash.
